Year 3 time, shape and data check

A focused check of time, perimeter, angles and lines, 2-D and 3-D shapes, and pictograms, bar charts and tables. Read each question carefully and answer on your own.

1. 1. What time does the clock show?

   Time (for example 3:15)

2. 2. What time does the Roman numeral clock show?

   Time (for example 3:15)

3. 3. Write 6:40 pm in 24-hour time.

   24-hour time (for example 15:15)

4. 4. A film starts at 4:35 pm and finishes at 5:20 pm. How long does the film last?

   Time (minutes)

5. 5. A lesson starts at 10:50 am and lasts 40 minutes. What time does the lesson end? Write am or pm.

   WorkingEnd time (for example 3:15 pm)

6. 6. Mia says, "A song of 150 seconds is longer than a song of 3 minutes." Which sentence shows that Mia is wrong?

   Choose one answer.

   150 is greater than 3, so 150 seconds is longer than 3 minutes. 1 minute is 100 seconds, so 3 minutes is 300 seconds. 1 minute is 60 seconds, so 3 minutes is 180 seconds, and 180 seconds is longer than 150 seconds.

7. 7. How many days are there in a leap year?

   Days

8. 8. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

   Not drawn to scale.

   Perimeter (cm)

9. 9. What is the perimeter of the triangle?

   Not drawn to scale.

   Perimeter (cm)

10. 10. Mia says the perimeter of this rectangle is 19 cm. Which sentence shows that Mia is wrong?

    Not drawn to scale.

    Choose one answer.

    The perimeter is 12 + 7 + 12 + 7 = 38 cm, so 19 cm is only half of it. The perimeter is 12 × 7 = 84 cm, so 19 cm is too small. The perimeter is 12 + 7 = 19 cm, so Mia is right.

11. 11. Square A has sides of 9 cm. Rectangle B is 12 cm long and 5 cm wide. How much longer is the perimeter of square A than the perimeter of rectangle B?

    WorkingHow much longer (cm)

12. 12. Which angle is a right angle?

    Choose one answer.

    Angle A Angle B Angle C

13. 13. Which angle is greater than a right angle?

    Choose one answer.

    Angle Q Angle P Neither angle

14. 14. Ali says, "Angle M is bigger than angle N because its arms are longer." Which sentence shows that Ali is wrong?

    Choose one answer.

    Angle N opens wider than angle M. The length of the arms does not change the size of an angle. Angle M is bigger, because longer arms make a bigger angle. Angle M and angle N are both right angles, so they are the same size.

15. 15. Sam makes a quarter turn and then a half turn. How many right angles does he turn through altogether?

    Right angles

16. 16. How are the two lines related?

    Choose one answer.

    They are parallel. They are perpendicular. They are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

17. 17. Which two lines are parallel?

    Choose one answer.

    A and B B and C A and C

18. 18. Which line is vertical?

    Choose one answer.

    Line A Line B Line C

19. 19. What is the name of this shape?

    Name of the shape

20. 20. How many sides does this shape have?

    Number of sides

21. 21. A shape has 5 sides and 5 corners. What is it called?

    Name of the shape

22. 22. How many edges does this cube have?

    Number of edges

23. 23. Which 3-D shape has 2 flat faces and 1 curved surface?

    Name of the shape

24. 24. Zara turns a cuboid so that it stands on one end. Which sentence is true?

    Choose one answer.

    It now has 7 faces, because a new face is on the bottom. It now has fewer vertices, because some of them are underneath. It still has the same faces, edges and vertices as before. Turning a shape does not change them.

25. 25. How many more books were read on Tuesday than on Wednesday?

    Key: = 10 books

    Books read each day

    Day	Symbols
    Monday
    Tuesday
    Wednesday
    Thursday

    How many more (books)

26. 26. Ali says, "There are 4 symbols for pears, so 4 pears were sold." Which sentence shows that Ali is wrong?

    Key: = 3 pieces of fruit

    Fruit sold at the school shop

    Fruit	Symbols
    Apples
    Pears
    Plums

    Choose one answer.

    There are 4 symbols for pears, so Ali is right: 4 pears were sold. Each symbol stands for 3 pieces of fruit, so 4 symbols show 4 + 3 = 7 pieces of fruit. Each symbol stands for 3 pieces of fruit, so 4 symbols show 4 × 3 = 12 pieces of fruit.

27. 27. How many children chose swimming?

    Clubs chosen by children

    Club	Children
    Football	12
    Swimming	9
